Severe Air Pollution in China

After neglecting years of air pollution, China finally began paying more attention to this problem. It is the most contaminated country in the world because of its large population and high demand for industrial products (AFOP). But this is not an excuse for what they do to the environment. This is a very important issue. Because it prevents many environmental damage and can give examples of pollution reduction around the world. They have to take this problem very seriously because the air quality has reached the point that people are sick and dead (The Tribune, 2014).

The truth is that air pollution is not limited to one city. This is a worldwide phenomenon. India and China are known as the most deadly air pollution coverage, but China was able to reduce the PM 2.5 level through the Atmospheric Purification Action Plan, but India's pollution level is still rising. A new study by Louisiana State University (LSU) pointed out that 13 measures could reduce air pollution levels by nearly 40% and avoid 900,000 early deaths annually due to Indian air pollution. Implementation of these measures may also result in a 50-60% reduction in PM 2.5 levels in the winter in northern India (including Delhi).

China is not the only one that hinders the development of its own country. Among the 20 most contaminated cities in the world, 13 are facing more serious environmental problems than China. Its capital city, New Delhi is the most contaminated place on Earth. Its source of smoke resembles that of China (ie automobile exhaust gas and fuel), but other factors such as burning garbage in the field after harvesting will also have an effect. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that indoor pollution caused by burning paraffin stoves, wood, coal and cow dung leads to the deaths of more than one million Indians each year. The Indian government insists that environmental regulations are not allowed to impede economic growth, but Yvo de Boer of the former United Nations Climate Change Prime Minister warns India to avoid China 's fate.

China's air pollutant emissions mainly affect the country itself. However, long-distance transportation of contaminated air masses can also lead to increased air pollution in neighboring countries. The relevant export related growth is half of the total EU - 27 emissions in 2010.

Beijing recently announced a second "red light" on air pollution as toxic gas covered the capital of China again. Last year's most serious air pollution incident reached about 40 times the level of major pollutants that occurred in Beijing last November, which the World Health Organization considers to be 24 hours exposure safety. According to the independent research team Berkeley Earth Research Group, an average of 4,000 people die every day due to air pollution in China - "All Chinese men, women and children suck five cigarettes per hour" ... apparently ...
